About
Logantown
Logantown, located between Downtown Altoona and Lakemont Park, is a residential and commercial Altoona neighborhood with a rail-era street grid and hillside views. The neighborhood’s character concentrates around the 17th Street and Pleasant Valley Boulevard corridor, where auto-service storefronts, diners, and small retail sit under steady traffic. Nearby, the Railroaders Memorial Museum and the Mishler Theatre act as cultural anchors tied to the city’s industrial roots. Housing reads as compact early-20th-century blocks with porches and modest yards, mixed with mid-century infill along busier roads. Green breaks come via the Altoona Area Recreation Commission’s trails and fields, while Penn State Altoona adds a collegiate edge to the daily rhythm.
